My feelings are all over the place when I'm having pms. The thing with feelings is that I can feel so much sometimes,for not so much often. Crying over tv shows and youtube clips,poker hands et.c. So I'm watching a comedy right now to ease my mood.My boyfriend bought me a piece of chocolate yesterday,usually I finish it within 2-3 days,it took me an hour or two,with pms.It's really bad this time of the month,sometimes I wish I was a guy.But then I try one of my beautiful dresses while dancing to the supremes ,or talking to my girlfriends about guys for hours,and I realize I'm happy being a girl.

It sure has been a while.. Last time I wrote we were in Melbourne and a lot has happened since then. Well I can start by telling you about the rest of the trip. We decided we were done with big cities for a while so we headed up north to get some beach and relax time. Our first stop was Noosa, where bf surprised me with a weekend at the beautiful Sheraton resort. The days in Noosa were spent on the beach and by the pool and every evening we went to the local restaurants. That's what I call a real vacation! After Noosa we went to Brisbane where we were invited over for dinner and wine by one of Ians best friends and his girlfriend (Pedro and Alice), they have a beautiful place and we had a really good time. The day after we headed to Byron Bay for some more beach time, I think it's my favorite place on the trip. Byron Bay is a beautiful authentic little hippie village with a great vibe. All the hotels and hostels were packed, we did find one and were lucky enough to get double booked at the hotel so they paid the difference for us to stay one of the nicest resorts in Byron, wonderful!

After some hippie and beach time we headed back to Brisbane where Pedro and Alice had a surprise for us, which was a Cirque du Soleil show finished by a dinner at a nice Italian restaurant. After Brisbane it was time to head back home, Ian back to Brazil and I went back to Sweden since I exceeded my days as a tourist in Brazil and I don't have my visa yet.

evening.

I'm almost finished with my session for the day,not as good as I hoped for.My bf just went to sleep so I'm having a cup of tea and waiting for a good hand.Yesterday I had a day off from poker,we went out to drink some wine and eat some food.First we saw an art exhibition and then listened to a lecture reading about design.in dutch.and no,I didn't understand anything.But since I'm a really nice girlfriend I kept my bf company for the sake of it;)later on we ate hamburgers of lamb and beef with truffle salsa and extra cheese.It's a lot of artsie people around here while design week.If you are interested in art and design this is the place to be!!They played rockn roll old school style yesterday so even I liked the music!gonna watch a movie now and then sleep!night!

hello!I found this yoga challenge on youtube and will do it this upcoming month!need to start with my daily workouts again,getting too lazy.

We went out partying saturday, the whole day yesterday I was hangover and laying in bed. The dutch design week is here and there are a lot of things going on. Need to get my groove on and try to be more social;)

as pauline wrote in the last post,we are very proud of being swedish!You feel it especially when you live in other countries like we do.People are always nice and interested when you say that you are swedish. Even though swedish girls might have a certain reputation when it comes to party trips,we do have the main reputation of being beautiful. Swedish girls are very independent and humble and everyone I meet during my travels I always got along with. But enough speaking of the girls,I also saw there was an article about guys. And Swedish guys topped the list of beautiful men,Holland came on 3rd place. Having a dutch boyfriend that is absolutely gorgeous I think Holland should have come 2nd and Italy 3rd...I will give you some pics of ma man,hmmm oki maybe Holland should have come first now when I look at him:D haha

halloj!My bf went to work and I just did a huge cleaning of our bedroom.I hate cleaning but we all have to do it I guess.Today I don't have any plans but to play poker. I been thinking back and forth if I should write myself in Holland or keep my address in Sweden. Don't really know the pros or cons, but it would be nice to have my mail to my home instead of my mums. The thing is that I'm already totally out of the society,no tax paying and no regular income. I don't know how it works being a poker player in Holland,so I'm a bit confused. If I have any dutch poker playing readers give me a hint. Changing hospital,changing bank card and all that stuff is also something I don't have a clue about...sometimes it's hard to be a grown up,was much easier being a kid and y parents dealt with all that stuff.Anyway I guess I'm not in a hurry,if I'm going to study at Uni maybe it's better to be written in Sweden...?!gahh all this confusion...

I wanted to have a more clear pic of my haircolor since I became a brunette. I hate taking pics of myself but I guess you get the idea of how it looks like.haha

Hello wifi world. I just started some tourneys and hoping for a good day regarding my poker. I never write much about fashion and cloths and stuff like that. But today I will post some pics of how I would like to dress for this autumn if I had a normal job:)yeah I know I can dress like this otherwise too but it's more comfortable to have yoga pants and big sweaters.Have a wonderful day!

yesterday I didnt play poker after all,good being my own boss skipping work like that I wouldn't last a day in real life.The thing is during this time of the month I always get headache and a bit depressed.so it's better for my ev (expected value for all you non poker players) not to play. Me and my man started to watch a new serie called masters of sex,very good,can recommend. Today I feel a bit better so I have to play some poker.

måndag 14 oktober 2013

Saturday we went to a restaurant called butler and co here in Eindhoven.We ate a 4 course dinner with wine and it was very good. The best starter I ever ate consisting of goose liver pate rolled in carpaccio and a beef tartar.Good food and good service,another place I can recommend for visitors:)
We were to tired to see the movie on cinema afterwards and went straight to bed. haha think we are getting old,anyway there will be more chances for a good poker movie.Today as every other day I'm going to play some poker.But first I will practice some yoga and drink a cup of tea.Mondays are always a little bit boring I think-

lördag 12 oktober 2013

house,techno,electric music is big here in Holland.It's something I really want to like because every place worth going out to has it.But honestly I feel like this every time I'm a t a place where it's playing.

godmorning!I just woke up and my bf had made me pancakes with plantana for breakfast,I love this man. He just started working extra for a cloth shop while he is home so he went to work.Im going to play some poker during the day instead of the evening so I'm off to start earlyier as-well:)It's autumn now and the leaves are changing color and it's getting cold. I'm drinking tea and have my knitted socks on.Tonight my bf is taking me to dinner and cinema,it's a new movie about poker so ofcourse I want to see it:D

torsdag 10 oktober 2013

so Im wide awake and it's night.not something unusual for me. Exactly 01.00 my migraine disappeared and I finally felt hungry for the first time today,eh yesterday?!anyway,I did such a good delicious dish that I thought I could share with you. It's me and my bf favo breakfast after pancakes with plantana. Since it's apple season this scramble apple dish is perfect. So what you use is basically almond flour, apple,2 eggs,cinnamon and cream. Fry the apple,mix flour,egg,cinnamon and pour it over. Whip cream (I use a lot) and then eat everything,the scramble should be buried in whipped cream.very good and healthy;)

So my time in bed got an abrupt ending as the door was knocking and a guy cam to install the doorbell. Nothing to do but to go up,he looked pretty surprised when I opened 14 o clock in my pj's. Well I cuddent explain because he speaks polish,half dutch and not english.hmm time to learn ducth soon maybe..
anyway I just made a cup of tea and before I dive into my poker hands I will write a post about something that bothers me a bit. People and their perception of love and relationships. I get tossed all this bad quotes at internet.One that really made me angry was about distance relationships. It said basically that being in a distance relationship is the true way to see if 2 persons are meant to be. It said that it was the distance which made a relationship stronger or weaker either way it was the ultimate test. So, instead of letting people who don't have a clue about this kind of relationships write I will write.
First of all I don't believe it's the time apart that builds a relationship but the time together. The distance that will break up a couple in that kind of relationship but the lack of staying close. But it is the same thing you might think,no it's not. Staying close to your partner frees hormones that are essential for human beings in love. The lack of these hormones,depending on each individual can have harmful effects. It depends on the kind of work you put into your relationship and the mutual respect that lies between the both of you. Another bad quote that even I used to listen to is if it's meant to be it will be. That is also false,because you need to put work into anything that you want. In ever single love story you can find people who worked for their love. I mean,how many movies would still be love movies if the guy sat back with crossed arms and said,if it's meant to be it will be?!Relationships needs work and commitment,a distance relationship needs even more. The issue is that people don't put enough work into their relationship,they get lazy. Even if you live together or apart you need to work on your relationship and do sacrifices. A quote like the distance don't matter if you love each other is just not right. Distance matters and even more if you love each other. It matter because it hurts and you will have to sacrifice so much to keep it up. Having a conversation or a fight gets worse because you can't read face expressions that are essential. The lack of sex and to express emotions is hurting the relationship. So no,a distance relationship is not the ultimate test to see if 2 persons are meant to be.period. A if it's meant to be it will be is not the right way of thinking but can be helpful when you are lazy.And only when you are lazy.

god I feel so sorry for myself.Played poker all day and night yesterday without the tiniest of winnings.Then I got a migraine that would kill anyone. I always suffered from migraines,since I was about a teenager. But it always went away with a bunch of painkillers and a long sleep.My migraine now has taken it to another level,even if I sleep I wake up with the same pain as I went to sleep with.So back and forth all night,in and out of toilet...here I am stranded in bed.Maybe it's good for the blog though,with nothing to do but to write:)

Just dropped off my bf at the train,he is going away 2 days!I went to a cafe in the city ate a plate of carpaccio and a cappuccino for breakfast. Its nice to have a luxury breakfast alone sometimes. Sipping on a good coffee having your computer with you and going through some poker hands.Now I just came back to the apartment,put a whole chicken in the oven and will be playing in a minute. These days while my bf is working hard in Istanbul I will have a full poker schedule from am to pm.Could be good to do some heavy playing while there is no other stuff to do.

måndag 7 oktober 2013

I'm waiting for answers concerning my studies but nothing!I need to read 3 extra courses to be able to apply for the program at UNI next year!All of them is nature so it's not really my favo subs,but it will do;)IN Sweden you have the awesome possibility to study everything for free,even on distance. So whether I live in Holland or Sweden I can still study and do without taking loans and stuff.I love coming from a country where they see the importance in education.My plan is to manage the 3 extra courses before 1 of April!Lets hope I will hear from them soon!!
Im off for a powerwalk and then some cloth washing and study (poker). I found this photo in a file,it's 2 in the night and I was playing my poker as usual.So funny,when everyone is sleeping I'm most awake...you get pretty weird hours being a poker player,indeed.

lördag 5 oktober 2013

I just made a cup of fresh mint tea and try to charge my ipod before heading out for a powerwalk. Its sunny in Holland although the autumn is coming a little bit too close. I still need my days of summer!me and my bf are in a stage in our lives where we sleep more than ever,like 10-12 hours a day.I guess it's needed so I try not to put up much of a resistance,even though I would love to be awake and enjoy a real morning for once. In 2 days he will be leaving for a photo shoot for 2 days in Istanbul. So my live poker in the casino will have to wait!anyway,my ipod seems to be able to last for an hour outside so I'm off!cheers

fredag 4 oktober 2013

My bf is doing town with some friends tonight.Its cute,he asked me 3 times about what to wear,me in my yoga pants are not sure I was the right person to contribute with a good answer.Ended up eating bacon snacks and playing poker while he practice some moves in front of the mirror.I always enjoy watching him from a distance or sneaking up on him while he is posing. I tease him him enormously and he will deny until his grave that he was posing;)hehe

hmm my poker didn't go as good as the latest days,there is only one word that would describe it right now.I give you a hint:)so Im off to sleep,nighty

torsdag 3 oktober 2013

Im looking at a poker theory video about bluffing!Laying in the sofa and trying to multitask at the same time,writing a blogpost,drinking coffee,watching mtv and learning how to bluff better...Im already bad at lying so bluffing is not one of my strong sides,but Im getting there.On monday I will play some live poker in the casino if I can convince my bf to go with me. In live poker everyone sees you so you need to be good at mask your feelings...hehe I'm not,I start shaking,blushing,sweating and get ridiculous obvious....good I'm playing online most of the time:)so here I am right now!have a nice day people!

onsdag 2 oktober 2013

I went shopping some comfy cloths the other day. Everything I want right now is comfortable and I can were it doing yoga,playing poker or just random.My latest addition to my yoga cloths are a pair of grey super comfortable pants,although we never been to yoga class I did practice some yoga on the floor in the living room with them.they where perfect,just love them:)

God we suck in updating here!I just spent every second taking back lost time with my bf and I guess Pauline is enjoying here last week in Australia!as I wrote the previous post we spent the weekend at my bf familys house. We went to an amusement park made of famous stories for kids.It was really nice and I went on some roller-coasters and other stuff. The other part of the days were spent eating good food and having a chill time. I finally got a bike too,about time:)here are some pics from the park,it was called afterling and I would recommend it for every tourist coming to Holland.
